Getting Grub to dual boot with Morphix running Lilo


Ok, here is the deal:

Lets start with the OSs':

Win XP on NTFS partition---> installed on hda0,0

Morphix (hybred) running Phlak---> installed on partition hda0,4 with lilo installed on the / partition. When this drive is mounted it mounts as"/mnt/hda5. I'm not sure why its not da0,4, which is simular to the Red Hat string inside the grub.conf file.

Red Hat 9---> installed on hda0,5 with Grub bootloader

When I boot up I get the option to boot to "DOS" or "rh9". Both options work fine.

My problem is with Morphix running Lilo. I found the vmlinuz-2.4.21-xfs, config-2.4.21, boot-menu.b, and boot.0300 in /mnt/hda5/boot.

I need to see an example of the proper config in my grub.conf file to make Morphix(phlak) boot.

P.S. the mnt/hda5/boot/etc/lilo.conf is emty

then you probably don't have lilo installed in hda5, since lilo.conf is empty
can you do a "/sbin/fdisk -l" ?
